Example
Use The Evaluator (Chapter 13 in the JavaScript Bible) to assign a color to the
table. After looking at the table to see its initial state, enter the following IE5+/NN6+
statement into the top text box:
document.getElementById(“myTable”).bgColor = “lightgreen”
When you look at the table again, you see that only some of the cells turned to
green. This is because colors also are assigned to table elements nested inside the
outermost table element, and the color specification closest to the actual element
wins the contest.

To remove all traces of an outside border of a table (and, in some combinations
